U+0CC3 "ೃ" Kannada Vowel Sign Vocalic R Unicode Character

U+0CC3 "ೃ" Kannada Vowel Sign Vocalic R is a combining diacritical mark used in the Kannada script to represent a vocalic 'r' sound, which functions as a vowel in certain Sanskrit-derived loanwords and linguistic contexts. It is placed below a consonant character to modify its pronunciation, typically indicating a syllabic 'r' sound that is distinct from the regular consonantal 'r'. This symbol is part of the Kannada block in Unicode and supports the accurate phonetic representation of words borrowed from Sanskrit, where vocalic consonants occur, and is essential for proper orthography in scholarly and liturgical texts.
